[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
For the Friday Theme Fingers or Toes of this week,
I introduce this image related with the Baseball
game. The image shows one of the many modes how
the pitchers can place his fingers, in order to
succeed that the ball get several movements.
I shot it with bounce flash and in PS I painted
a bit the left down side in order to wipe out
some shadows. I hope you like it.

Nice shot Mario. Good idea, well conceived and well executed. The sharpness is spot on as is the composition - really like this one.

Mario,
As a baseball fan, I like this image of the model holding a 2 seam curveball, a lot.
I think you caught the highlights of the subjects just right. (The fingertips) I think you could have rotated the ball just a millimeter or two, to see the O in official a little better. I think you did really well with this photo and it fit well in the theme. Good Notes, Good job!

Thanks for the nice comment on "F/T FINGERS".

hi Mario

Greetings from Malaysia!

Nice and very original to show not just fingers but giving a Note on how to pitch. Very good for the theme. Good light and shadow for this capture.

Hi Mario,

A simple and very strong composition.

I can almost feel the leather of the ball in my own hands.
Excellent details and of course, most important good use of light.

Hello Mario, very original shot for the theme! Very sharp details and a great exposure, I really love the dark background, great result! Thanks,

Mario

This is a gorgeous shot of such simple subject matter. Great lighting, and a great sharp image - well done!

Hello, Mario -
Great image with a nice overall composition. I like the dark background and the sharp definition of the fingers and the grain visible on the surface of the ball. Good idea for graphics to align the label with the line of the wrist and arm. Well done.

Hi Mario...nice sharp shot...nice to bring out the subject with a black background...
